Tracking the evolution, spread and key drivers of zoonotic diseases
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studentship in Infectious Diseases. Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) present a significant threat to public health, food security, and the poultry industry. Read more
How do evolutionary changes in innate immune genes influence the carriage of zoonotic pathogen
Description. Zoonotic pathogens, such as COVID-19, reside in animal hosts before jumping species to infect humans. How diversity in host immune genes across species impact upon pathogen carriage are poorly understood. Read more
Mathematical modelling of transmission and worldwide distribution of neglected zoonotic diseases (Q fever)
A 3-year fully funded position is available to contribute substantially to the development of a new modelling approach for the prediction and control of zoonotic diseases (Q fever). Read more
Novel AI methods for zoonotic disease prevention and prediction - Host association studies of Salmonella Typhimurium using Machine Learning
In this PhD project you will join a Government-Academia collaborative project to develop novel computational approaches to detect and predict a type of infectious diseases termed zoonotic disease that can be transmitted between species, from animals to humans (and vice-versa). . Read more
Investigation on the prevalence of monkey B virus in the monkey colonies in China and their relative neurovirulence in the target cells
Monkey B Virus (BV) occurs naturally in macaques such as rhesus and cynomolgus monkeys that are widely used in biomedical research. Read more
Gastrointestinal Microbiota as driver of Parkinson's Disease: From specific pathogens to a transkingdom approach
In order to understand how the complex interactions of host with microbiota results in adverse effects on gut and brain, we examine:-. Read more
Development of an in vitro nebulisation assay for use with defence pathogens
Applications are invited for a three-year Postgraduate studentship, supported by the Defence Science Technology Laboratory (DSTL) and the College of Health and Life Sciences, to be undertaken within the. Read more
Understanding host-pathogen interaction during T. gondii infection using stem cell derived tissue organoids to inform drug therapy development (VC23010)
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to study host-pathogen interactions during Toxoplasma gondii infection to inform drug discovery and drug delivery. Read more
The multiple faces of wildlife trade: a supply-side analysis to inform wildlife management in China
My group is currently recruiting one full-scholarship PhD candidate for the wildlife trade project. The project will be supported by the PGRS scholarship from Xi'an Jiaotong Liverpool University (XJTLU). Read more
Rational microbial-based interventions against bacterial enteric diseases in young livestock.
Neonatal calves and piglets are susceptible to a range of enteric bacterial infections including neonatal scour caused by Salmonella spp. Read more
Shining a (blue) light on Campylobacter: Exploiting an innate vulnerability to photodynamic killing
Project Overview. Campylobacter jejuni is a microaerophilic Gram-negative pathogen that causes human campylobacteriosis, one of the most widespread zoonotic enteric diseases worldwide. Read more
Employing molecular virology to investigate hepatitis E virus replication
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), is a major causative agent of acute, severe hepatitis. The infection can also be chronic, particular in immunocompromised people, and fatal in pregnant women or those with existing liver diseases. Read more
